Welcome to my shabby little corner!!I adore the vintage/shabby style..and often have it in my cards & projects... Creating is balsam for my soul...It's the perfect escape for me, after a loooong day with my little rascals... Hope you enjoy your stay!

Good morning from a rainy Stockholm!Today i thought that i'd show a baby card that i made earlier this week, I made it for Karin (Essmo) since they had a little princess joining there family! Essmo loves pink, so the hole card goes in pink... Distressed edges, chalk, roses, charms etc. on this card. Today is a much better day than yesterday.... So it feels like the surgery was a good one! *happy* Thought i'd clean around the house now that i have some energy..and later on some cardmaking...when my kiddos are a sleep... =) Next week Amir is turning 2 and Aston 1 year!! Boy does time fly!! Have a great saturday! Huuuuuuugs!!!

At ABC it's time for letter V = Vintage..*love* I found this romantic image, that just had to use... A friend of mine is celebrating her 7 th anniverary, so i'm sending this to them. Roses, and distressed edges, pins and a butterfly in the corner, so with this little cute butterfly this card is also entering FBW challenge, where anything goes, as long as you have a angel,butterfly or fairy on it. Short posting today...I'm a bit tired... Have a great friday!

Well, here it is... the altered i promised you guys days ago...it's been finished for a few days ago...but i just haven't had time to take pics of it...*lol* I just chalked it, added a vintage picture, roses&leaves & some lace. Stamped the text and done! I had hoped to make a few cards for some fun challenges this week, but no time over...*sigh* Maybe tonight...=) I have a baby card that i have made and mailed out, that i think i can show to you tomorrow... Have a great thursday!

I got the call from my doctor that i have been waiting for. Unfortunatly it didn't give me any more answers than before... She was a little unsure if she had managed to get evrything out "around the edges" so now i have to wait for another 4 months and then go and take some new biopses... She did tell me that it takes atleast a year after surgery to be certain if i'm cancer free, Well, it could have been worse! but the worst thing, is the waiting... So in September they'll take new test... But enough of that...tomorrow i'll show you some altered stuff! Here is a simple card that i made a few days ago... bright yellow..*yikes!* have a great day!

I hope you have had a great weekend! Wer had such sunny weather on saturday, but yesterday, sunday we had a storm, rain & thunder... But it was much needed rain! It's been so dry since last week..and i didn't have to water the plants yesterday..*lol* I made a card yesterday, that's in a few challenges.- Simon says stamp " make a tent card with charms"- A spoon full of sugar " Cute & Girly"- Flutter by wednesday "Butterflys"So, as you can see, i made a tent card...love the way it stands up! *lol* A sweet hÄngel girl on the front, and then i cut a circle in the middle and added the text on the inside. Lots of roses & even a cute butterfly made it on to this card..*lol* No, i have to find my cellphone and charge it up, since my doctor is calling with my results today... I'll be back later with the results...*yikes*

What weather we have had here in Stockholm...*sun,sun suuuun*, So the days we have spent outside and the evnings planting in our garden..*love* So, i haven't had that much time over for my blog... But two cards i have managed to make... One is for my mother in law on mothers day, (i'll show that one later) and the other one is for janita's friend Matilda, her birthday is comming up... On matilda's card i used layer on layer with paper, tore the edges & chalked them, roses,leaves and bling... a typical "sari" card..*lol* On monday i'm getting my results from my cancer operation.... That day will go slowly, since the doctor will call me at four Pm... But i think she will have good news for me!!! *hope so..* My boys have been running butt naked in our garden...since the weather is soooo good...*lol* But is there anything cuter, than 2 small "cheeks" next to each other? *lol* Our garden has waken up after a long winter... I have several gorgeous bushes in bloom..*don't know there names in englöish ..*lol* Our Magnolia is in full bloom and spreading such a lovely sence...mmmm... The boys want to go for a swim in the pool...so bye!! Have a great friday!

How has your weekend been? Here in Stockholm we have had such great weather! So we had a barbeque with our family..*yummy* First we thought we would go out on our boat...but then i realized that the easy part is getting on the boat but off...well thats another story..*lol* Because of by surgery...Could you imagine me, stuck on our boat..LOL! Our boat trip will have to wait atleast one more week... I thought i'd show you a card i made last week... to Janita's classmates mom. She likes green & flowers.So this is what i came up with... I hope you all have a great sunday! And thank you so much for all of your kind comments! They really make my day!

Good morning!Awww..it's such a wonderful day, with sunshine...And the weathercast for today was rain... =) Is there anything better than to wake up to gorgeous sunshine? And wet kisses ffrom my 2 boys? *lol* Today i thought i'd show you the canvases i made of my kids. Well 3 of them...Since the shop didn't have more of the same sized canvas...So Janita is comming up...as soon as i get the right sized canvas for her! I do have smaller & bigger ones, but they just don't fit together on the wall..*sigh* All of the three are same style & layout.. Lots of flowers,leaves and butterflies... =) Each one of the canvases i sprayed first with glimmer mist. Blue * My blue mist wasn't glimmermist so i added some perfect pearl powder to it..and instantly you have glimmermist* for the boys and pink for donja...I was at work yesterday for a short while... but boy was i exhausted when i came home... Fell in bed and fast a sleep in seconds..*lol*I'm off to they yard with my boys, while it's still sunny outside! Have a great day! *hugs*

I thought i'd enter a card challenge, since i haven't done that in ages! House Mouse has a great & simple challenge, Distressing! As you know, i LOVE to distress my cards & altered projects. On this card, i have used one of my favorite HM images... I think they are sooo cute! Belive it or not...I have made a very simple card for a change! *lol* After lots of embellies on my projects...i ONLY used 2 embellishments!! You read right...2!! *lol* At first i thought i'd post about the canvases that i made of my kids...but then thought that i need something simple for once..=) So thank you House Mouse for a great challenge!Tomorrow i have to go to work for a short time... I really don't feel like it, since the bleeding & illness has made so exhausted... I really get angry at my self, that i have to take naps & rest so much...But hopefully all will get back to normal soon... But i am so gratefull, to have a hibby like this. Just to make cards or altered, emptys my mind of thoughts and belive or not...gives me inner peace! Just letting your creativity flow...thats the best medicine! Take care of each other and hugs to you!

Here is picture that i made for my mothers friend, sort of a mothersday gift, she's like an xtra grandmom for my kids... She loves blue..and lots of stuff, so this is what i came up with... I sprayed mist on the canvas, then layered papers, chalks,pearls,roses, you name it...*lol* Then i made a simple card to go with it...otherwise it would have been too much. No, i have to go to bed now... good night!

I hope you have had a great saturday! Here we have had a rainy day..all day... So my kids haven't been playing outside like they are used to...So they are climming the walls at home..*lol* I thought i'd show you a little bird house i made. Lots of small rose petals & roses on the roof...even a butterfly. A tiny blue bird is sitting in front..*lol* I have used lots of chalk & craklepaint..again..*i seem always to use them*You either hang the house or just have it on the table... Could'nt get any good pics... Have a great day!

Hi you all!How have you been? My operation went well, just have to wait another month for the results..*sigh* Last sunday i had some compilacations due to my op. I started to bleed heavely, and had to go the ER. Quickly they found out that a blood vessile had erupted..*my typical luck..lol* After hours of trying to stop the bleeding, they finally did it, then after several more hours they let me go home..Oh the feeling of my own bed!! But, something good comes out of evrything! After this i'm not alloud to lift anything or do much at all... So i have had plenty of time to scrap! I have made a few cards, altered projects and other stuff..=) I'll show you a little at a time... I'll start by showing you guys my moms mothersday gift...I altered 3 boxes and a frame for her. Lots of cracklepaint,chalks,mists,bling,flowers,butterflys etc...
